molar mass over grams of elementThe above answer is somewhat correct. In order to find the molecular formula when given the empirical formula, you must first find the molar mass of the empirical formula.MOLAR MASS# atoms element A x Atomic Mass element A (Periodic Table) = mass A# atoms element B x atomic mass element B (periodic table) = mass B... etc.Add up all of the mass values found above and you have the molar mass.Then, after you have found the empirical formula's molar mass, you divide the molar mass of the molecular formula by the empirical formula's molar mass (solving for n).MOLECULAR FORMULA EQUATION: N (Empirical formula) (read as N times empirical formula) where:N = Molar mass substance---- Molar Mass emp. form.
Molecular formulas are used the most often, but empirical formulas do help at times. Often it's just to simplify the molecular formula, but this simplification can often tell you if it's in the same chemical family as other compounds and such.
The empirical formula is the simplest ratio of the elements within a compound. Therefore, it can be used to calculate the percentage of an element within a compound. For example, the empirical formula for sodium chloride is NaCl. From this, we can see that the ratio of sodium ions to chloride ions is 1Na : 1Cl. Therefore, a sodium chloride molecule is composed of 50% sodium and 50% chloride.
use the formula: the square of (RT3)/molar mass in kilograms
The molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance in g/mol. In order to determine the molar mass, you must know the chemical formula and have access to a periodic table. Let's use water as an example. The chemical formula for water is H2O. To find the molar mass, multiply the atomic weight on the periodic table in grams/mol for each element times the subscript for the element, and add the molar masses. H: 2 x 1.00794g/mol = 2.01588g/mol O: 1 x 15.9994g/mol = 15.9994g/mol ------------------------------------------------ Molar mass = 18.0153g/mol

The empirical mass is C2H3 2 x 12 = 24 3 x 1 = 3 24 + 3 = 27 So divide 27 into 166.01 Hence 162.27 / 27 = 6.01 ~ 6 So multiply each atom in the empirical formula by '6' Hence Empirical C2H3 Molecular C12H18
Sulphur has a molar mass of 32.065. Carbon has a molar mass of 12.01. 32.065 / 12.01 = 2.67. So an sulphur atom is 2.67 heavier than an carbon atom.
There is no easy answer to this question. First, it depends what information you have to start with. Do you have the name? Do you know what elements are found in the substance?If you are given the name of the molecule, you can often find the molecular structure of that compound by simply using the Google search engine online and searching for the name. It is often give you the answer! There are certain compounds that you should be familiar with also. Also, there is a set of official rules that determine the name of a specific compound, so that if you have the formula, you can name it correctly, and if you have the name, you can determine the formula. Unfortunately, many chemicals also have common names that do not follow these rules, and you just have to memorize those, or look them up with Google.See the Related Questions and Web Links to the left for some information about how compounds are named and how to go from a formula to a name and vice versa.
It depends upon how much you have, but its molar mass is about 342g/mol, meaning 1 mole of table sugar (sucrose, C12H22O11) has a mass equal to the sum of all the molecule's constituent elements.

No. It must be a whole number. Since the empirical formula of a compound shows the proportions of the elements in the simplest whole number ratio there is going to be at least one odd number in the formula. Multiplying by 2.5 would then result in you having half an atom somewhere in the molecule, which you can't really have.

Molar mass of ammonia = (14.01 + 3.03) (Molar mass of nitrogen + 3 times molar mass of hydrogen, as chemical formula of ammonia is NH3). Molar mass= 17.04 Molar mass x moles = mass 17.04 x 3 = 51.12 Mass of 3 moles of ammonia is 51.12g.
The frequency distribution usually refers to empirical measurement and there is no formula for finding it. You simply count the number of times an observation falls within a given range.
